A hearty new veggie burgers recipe from Kim Lutz’ new book Ancient Grains
I’m thrilled to let the world know that my beautiful friend Kim Lutz has a new book. I have known Kim a few years and last summer got to spend part of a weekend with her in Chicago. We had a blast talking, laughing, and enjoying a very long walk across mid-town Chicago on a lovely summer evening. Kim is beautiful inside and out. At the time she was busy crafting the recipes for her latest book Ancient Grains: A Guide to Cooking with Power-Packed Millet, Oats, Spelt, Farro, Sorghum & Teff (Superfoods for Life)
Here’s what Kim has to say about this recipe, which looks absolutely gorgeous in this photo:
Oats, the humblest of the ancient grains, are the key ingredients that hold these veggie burgers together. Not only that, they also provide these delicate but filling patties with heart-healthy fiber and iron. You can serve them on a bun with all the fixings, but I also enjoy them bread-free, with a side of Herbed Millet (on page 59 in the book) and a green salad.
All Kim’s recipes are plant-based and allergy-friendly. Most of the recipes in the book are nut-free. Note that not all the ancient grains are gluten-free.

Gosh I LOVE that photo! Can’t wait to get a copy of Kim’s new book!
May I recommend a good topping for these chickpea burgers? Trader Joe now offers Muhammara – a Middle Eastern dip made from walnuts, roasted red pepper and pomegranate juice with garlic, lemon juice and onion. In the refrigerator case. Sounds odd, tastes wonderful!
You always have the best GF recipes!
